Answer:

$45 (corrected answer)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Gavin : Jim = 1 : 3

fraction that Gavin gets = 1 / (1+3) = 1/4

fraction that Jim gets = 3 / (1+3) = 3/4

given that Gavin gets $15,

Gavin's share = (1/4) ----> equivalent to $15

Jim's share = (3/4) ----> equivalent to $15 x 3 = $45

The point (5/13, y) in the fourth quadrant corresponds to angle theta on the unit circle. Find sec theta and cot theta

VikaD [51]

Cos (theta) = $\frac{5}{13}$ sec (theta) = $\frac{1}{cos(theta)} = \frac{1}{ \frac{5}{13} }= \frac{13}{5}$ sin(theta)= $\sqrt{1- cos^{2}(theta) } = \sqrt{1 - \frac{25}{169} } = \sqrt{ \frac{144}{169} }=- \frac{12}{13}$ cot(theta)= $\frac{cos(theta)}{sin(theta}= \frac{ \frac{5}{13} }{ \frac{-12}{13} }= \frac{-5}{12}$

We have two pairs of equal sides; one pair of length 3.4 cm each and one pair od 3.3 cm each.

There quadrilateral (four-sided shape) that meet this first condition is:
Parallelogram
Rhombus
Rectangle

The only shape that has at least 3 angles of 90° would be RECTANGLE as the other shapes don't have right angle

When you multiply 2/3 by a fraction less than

Usimov [2.4K]

OK this is how it goes: Multiplying a number <1 with 2/3 another number <1, will give a fraction of a fraction, and part of a fraction is an even smaller fraction. Another way of looking at it: Fractions less than one have numerators smaller than their denominators. When multiplying fractions, you multiply across, so multiplying two fractions that are both less than one will always give a numerator much smaller than the denominator, and a larger denominator makes for a smaller number. I know this is very confusing but it is how you do it. It takes a while to wrap your head around it, I know.
